I only know a few and I'd like to know all. If you have a list please refer.

I know there's

- Runescape
- Planeshift
- Voyage Century
- Darkfall (WHEN IT ACTUALLY COMES OUT...)

Anymore?

What to you mean by skill-based? I tought you meant that you need to have real skills but those games you mentioned don't? So what to you mean? That there are skills that you use and level them up? That's about in every mmo there is if I'm not wrong.

What I mean by skill-based means not lvl-based where your aim is to MOSTLY grind on monsters for exp in order to lvl ur char from lets say 1-60. Some skill-based MMORPGs don't hav a lvl for the char just different skill lvls.
Skill-based r da ones where you MOSTLY spend time training up skill exp in a particular skill where you might want to b more professional at for eg. mining, crafting, fishing, cooking and mayb branches of weapon wielding skills such as axe, sword, bow, etc.

Oh, I don't know much of those because I haven't found many. Some have some crafting system and stuff like DOMO, which's system was supposed to be very good but I haven't played it much so I don't really know. I think DOMO will go OB very soon, but I might have remembered wrong...

op, all those games u mentioned apart from dark fall are grind based, since darkfall inst out yet.

i hear in Flyff ur skills gain power the more use them but i got too bored of it within the first few minutes to bother finding out formyself. The most skill based mmorpg i know is Guild Wars, ud spend time during the campaign section of it learning new skills since there are ALOT of skills to learn and getting better at the game yourself, cos in guild wars it depends on the players skill and tactic not his build alone.

Ultima Online, EA pay to play shards are garbage since EA made th egame item based. Best to play a ( classic player run ultima online server ) Best free server is UO Hybrid. Hybrid is a mix of classic UO from diff time periods before EA destroyed the game. UO also has player owned housing.

I hear EVE online is skill based but im not sure since I have not played the game.

Eve Online..

I would also suggest Ultima Online as it is my favorite skill-based, classless, sandbox mmo of all time and the first of it's kind.

A couple more skill-based mmorpgs in development to keep your eyes on are:

Earthrise
Mortal Online

**beta sign up for Earthrise have officially begun.
